Basic Life Support + Rescue Breaths + AED

Rehearse until the sequence is automatic

A guided mental simulation that walks you through the complete BLS algorithm — from recognising cardiac arrest through chest compressions, rescue breaths, and AED deployment. You rehearse the performance in your mind, building the neural pathways before the real event.

All healthcare professionals, medical students, first responders

The scenario

A 58-year-old man collapses at a community centre. You are the first trained responder on scene. There is an AED on the wall. The clock is ticking.

Learning outcomes

By completing this rehearsal you will be able to:

1

Recognise cardiac arrest and activate the emergency response

2

Perform high-quality chest compressions with correct rate and depth

3

Deliver effective rescue breaths with head-tilt chin-lift

4

Safely deploy and operate an AED

5

Integrate compressions, breaths, and AED into a seamless sequence

6

Manage the scene and communicate with arriving team members

How this module works

Five structured steps, designed around how adults learn best.

Step 1

Scenario overview

You arrive at a community centre. A man has collapsed. No one else is responding. Understand the patient, the setting, and what's at stake.

Step 2

Pre-assessment

Before we begin — a quick self-check. How prepared do you feel right now?

Step 3

Prebriefing

A short video frames the moment — the sounds of the room, the weight of the situation — and sets your intention before the rehearsal begins.

Step 4

Audio simulation

Headphones on, eyes closed. A guided voice walks you through every decision: checking response, calling for help, starting compressions, delivering breaths, attaching the AED. You live the scenario in real time.

Step 5

Debriefing

A guided reflection consolidates the decisions you just made. What went well? What would you do differently? The learning locks in.

Step 6

Self-assessment

Reflect on the experience. Your feedback shapes this platform and helps measure your growth.
